Artist Statement
Every artistic endeavor I
undertake is a point of view that encompasses the sum of my emotional and visual experience. I believe the translation of that combination of emotion and perspective onto the canvas is the essence of originality. As an artist, I am continually inspired by the prospect of depicting new subjects, developing new techniques and experimenting with new approaches. Without that passion, technique and process fade with repetition and redundancy, becoming a shallow representation of the artist’s soul. I am especially drawn to the seductive power of light and shadow and the seemingly infinite variety of color in everyday landscapes that capture my imagination – a city corner, a mountain retreat, a harbor at sunrise. I seek to capture brief moments in time, in a way that photographs can’t, that elicit in the observer the desire to get inside the painting – to be there and to experience it in a personal way.
